typhoon Yunya

Typhoon Yunya was a powerful tropical storm that developed over the Pacific Ocean and affected parts of Southeast Asia. It intensified into a typhoon with strong winds and heavy rain. When it approached the Philippines, Yunya coincided with the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, causing widespread flooding, destruction, and ash fall. The typhoon's heavy rains worsened the impact of the eruption, leading to significant damage and loss of life. Yunya’s interaction with Mount Pinatubo created a combined disaster that affected thousands, showcasing the devastating effects of natural weather events and volcanic activity occurring simultaneously.
